Kalismor: The Stargate Incident

A Mayor’s Regret. A Colony’s Funeral. A Very Cool Portal.

Things were looking up in Kalismor.

Under the ever-busy eye of Mayor Paul, the colony had flourished on the lava-ridden wilds of the Forge World. Homes were built. Farms planted. Guards trained (sort of). People were happy-ish.

But something was missing.

So Paul, in all his restless brilliance, decided to build a Stargate. Or at least, something that looked like one. Using blackstone, obsidian, and a stubborn refusal to read the safety manual, he constructed a massive Nether portal — majestic, sleek, and stupidly ominous.

And then he lit it.

The portal flared to life, glowing with that signature ripple of interdimensional "do not touch" energy. Naturally, Paul touched it.

He went through.

What he found on the other side was… not peaceful. Not even mildly annoyed. A horde of Piglins, cranky from the heat and apparently territorial as hell, spotted him immediately.

Paul turned around to leave. The Piglins, however, had other plans. They followed.

Straight through the portal.

Right into Kalismor.

Paul was knocked out cold — possibly by a gold axe, possibly by pure regret. While he was unconscious, the Piglins rampaged.

Kalismor's village guards tried to defend the colony, bless their underpaid hearts. But leather armor and "training" that consisted of hitting scarecrows didn’t hold up long.

Over two-thirds of the population died.
The farms burned.
The blacksmith exploded.
The stargate still looked awesome, but it now radiated the scent of bacon and death.

When Paul awoke in the wreckage, there was silence. Just ash, broken structures, and a single sign someone hung next to the portal:
“Nice job, on the Stargate.”

But this is Kalismor.

Paul has begun rebuilding. Stronger walls. Better guards. No more “decorative” death portals (for now). The gate remains sealed — though still beautiful — and the town square now bears a plaque:

“To Those We Lost in the Stargate Incident – May You Haunt This Portal Forever.”

Kalismor will rise again.
But Paul isn’t allowed near obsidian without supervision.
